I'm a harmonica teacher and musician from Ottawa, Canada. I have students around the world on skype and also do programs for seniors and kids. My website is catrionasturton.com and my youtube channel is harmonicatriona

I quit my full time job ten years ago (I used to work for an amazing non-profit, which I loved. I recently ordered 1,100 harmonicas (the most I’ve ever gotten at once!) and I share them at workshops, in schools, for students and people I meet. My first teacher told me that if you have a harmonica you always have a friend in your pocket.

I love touring and playing shows, mostly I have been touring in Canada and the United States but have also played shows in Italy and Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been able to host a lot of bands, and stay with a lot of kind people while travelling. I am looking forward to meeting you (and teaching you some harmonica if you would like :) )
